Ricky Gervais 2012 Golden Globes Opening Monologue

Watch Ricky Gervais opening to The Golden Globes. Despite expectations that he would out-do his insult-ridden monologue from last year, this year's opening was a fairly lame affair. There were many hurt feeling after last year and it took some special diplomacy to get him to return:

HFPA President Takla-O'Reilly helped work through the sour feelings of some of the 83 members of her organization over last year's Gervais performance. She flew to Paris last summer to meet the comedian (who co-created the British original version of television's "The Office") and helped pave the way for his return to the Globes.

Ladies and gentlemen, the bravest man in Hollywood, Ricky Gervais!

I think George Carlin would be a bit too abrasive. Ricky Gervais is teetering on a line where he's still totally loveable when he's ripping on you, but Carlin would tear them to pieces and all the celebrities wouldn't be able to handle that kind of blast to their over sized egos

Elton John is not amused
